John Iiodtl, the Swiss who murdered hi,
wife and two children at Turnervlle last
Tuesday night has made confession To the
officers at the Totland county Jail. Ii shows
that the murder, instead of being the result
of drunken debauch, reported at the
time, was a deliberate, cold-biooded affair.
llodel says that he first concluded TO kill
himself, and ON telling his wife of Ms deter
mination she insisted that he should Kill her
at the same time. The time was originally
fixed for last Sunday, but postponed I'M
til Tuesday night. lie intented to arise
about midnight, but his courage failed him.
Finally in the early morning he arose and
drank a quantity of wine. This was insult
ticient stimulent, and he followed with some
alcohol, and it fired his brain to the com
initial of the terrible deed He carried a
mattress into the children's bedroom and
ripped it open, saturated it with kerosene
and set it on fire. Then he shot his wife,
who, he SAYS was awake, and did not cry
for mercy. His children. as the flames
touched them, screamed piteously Hodel
says it was his intention at that time, the
destruction of his wife and child being Ger
tain, To kill himself but he had discharged
both barrels of his shotgun and in the dark
ness and smoke could not find his car
tridges.
When asked why he did not remain in the
children's bedroom and sutfocate with them,
he made the curious excuse that there was
too much smoke, it blinded him. and finally
he broke open the door with the bntt of the
gun and rushed into the open air just the
neighbors came hurrying to the house. He
denies that he was drunk, and insists that he
was conscious of his acts throughout.
IIodel is carefully watched. rs he threatens

THE CHOLERA.
President Cleveland Urging the Better
Protection of his City.

New YORK, Nov. ;, 1887.
Mayor Hewitt sounds public alarm over
the inadequate handling of the Italian cholera
patients at quarantine. and has sent the fol-
lowing letter to President Cleveland
feel it to be my duty to call your atten-
ton to the fact that there is a considerable
emigration from Italy, where the cholera at
present prevails, to this country, and that
the ships bringing the emigrans are, as
rule to the port of New York. Already two
ships have arrived on which eases of cholera
have been found to exist. The care of these
passengers and the responsibility for these
ships are committed by law to the quarantine
commissioners. who are not under the iurs-
diction either Of the United States or the city
of New York They are state officers.
There is feeling in the community that
greater care and efficiency are necessary in
order to protect this city and the country at
large from the consequences of the landing
of passengers who may have germs of dis
ease which may be developed at a later date.
Under the circumstances it has been sugges-
ted that further immigration at this time from
Italy should be prohibited. am perfectly
well aware that no such power exists and
that even if ii should be conferred by Con-
gress its exercise would be an extreme
measure but it has occurred to me that q
friendly representation made to the Italian
government might SECURE better precautions
in the clearance of vessels from the cholera
regions until the disease has disappeared there
from. The object of this letter is TO com
mend the matter % your attention. in the
hope it may lead to such official action as it
may be in your power to take for the protec-
ton of the country from the dangers and dis
asters of an invasion of the cholera

''The interview with Secretary Fairchld was
all that could be desired, and the solicitor of
the treasury, Judge McCun was present and
and participated. At the close of the confer

intention to stand by the quarantine auth0ri-
ties in the matter of emigrant ships from
cholera infected ports and he would carry
ont their wishes to the extent Of his power.
The secretary also said he had the power.

Man Who Has frightened People is
Run Down.
MIDpLErowN. n. Y, Nov.

MIDpLErowN. n. Y, Nov. j.
For some weeks the thinly settled noun
famous district along the New York and
New Jersey border line, west of Greenwood
lake, has been kept in a state of alarm by
the appearance of a wild man." who re-
Gently took up quarters in the swamps and
forests of the neighborhood. The strange
creature was hatless, shoeless ragged and
wild-eyed. with long matted hair and beard.
He ventures out from his hiding places oc-
casionally, usually in the night, for the pur-
pose, apparently, of getting food. When
approached by any of the neighbors he
would turn and fly like deer to the recesses
of the forest The women and children
were wrought up TO high degree of alarm
by the appearance of the strange figure.
When the story flew from house to house
about three weeks ago of the abduction and
maltreatment of Miss Olive Welch. daughter
of Benjamin Welsh, a respectable farmer,
the outrage was set down as the work of the
wild man, and the fright and anxiety of the
women of the isolated households became
doubly intensified. After dark, one night
about 10 days ago, Miss May Hunt, daughter
of Andrew Hunt living in secluded locality
near Liberyville. was almost paralyzed by
fright on seeing the wld-eyed aud uncouth
being peering in at the window in the kitchen
where she was at work. Her little
brother and she were alone in the house,
the rest of the family not vet having returned
from a trip to Branchville. But her father
had told Miss MAY where TO find pistol
loaded, and had instructed her how to use it
in case any impudent stranger came upon the
premises. With the pistol in her hand she
plucked up courage, and, opening the door,
she blazed away at the figure she saw swiftly
rctreating into the cover of darkness. When
Mr. Hunt heard the story of his daughters
adventure, he determined to make an effort
to rid the neighborhood of its terror. He
found an opportunity on Tuesday afternoon,
when he discovered the wild man in the edge
of piece of woods ON his farm. He gave
chase and overlook and seized the fugative,
who yielded, when caught, without much
resistance, He proved mild and
tlighty in action and emaciated in figure and
altogether a pitiable object For some time
he would not speak word, but after Mr.,
Hunt had given him food he was forced in
answer to present questioning to say that his
name is John Churchill and that he had been
living in Kansas and had been robbed of all
his property there that he now lived in the
woods because he wanted to get away from
the people who were prosecuting him. When
he had said this much he suddenly closed
his lips and refused to say another word. Mr..
Hunt took him before magistrate in Branch
willie, who committed him to the county Jail
at Newton as n vagrant, and to undergo med
ical examination as to his sanity.
